From what I’ve studied about the GOP, they haven’t had a true conservative since Reagan. And the establishment hated him because he wasn’t a ‘squish’. Think about it. When was the last time the GOPe had a conservative as President and not a progressive (globalist)?

In my lifetime (i.e., since 1940), the GOP has nominated two conservatives for President -- Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan.

As difficult as it might be to comprehend, the 3rd most conservative nominee was clearly George W. Bush.

Nominee? Technically that makes Romney the fourth most conservative. But that’s stretching the definition to its breaking point.
